An Overwhelming Surprise


Book Description

As a people awaiting the return of our Savior, we are forever looking for signs of the closing events, rightly so, because the Scriptures say that we will be able to "see the day approaching." Our anticipation has - for the most part - been in vain. Time and again we have had our hopes dashed to pieces. A time will come when our excitement will be justified. Dawning of the Day is a revelation of major current events that, when viewed in their entirety, paint a picture of what could be Satan's last effort to deceive the people of God, and bring in the long expected global Sabbath laws. An "overwhelming surprise," a "snare," these are the words inspired by God to describe how the final crisis will be seen by "all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth." Luke 21:35 The surprise begins now, as you see for the first time how Satan has been working undercover to arrange things to accomplish his work. The ground work is in place, the support is there, very little remains before the trap is sprung on an unprepared church, and unsuspecting world.

Transformation and Strategic Surprise


Book Description

Though discounted by Clausewitz in the circumstances of his era, strategic surprise has enjoyed considerable popularity over the past century. The possibility of achieving decisive results from attacks launched on short, or zero, warning has appeared to improve greatly with advances in technology. It follows that surprise has been recognized as offering what seem to be both golden opportunities and lethal dangers. Since surprise is an ironbound necessity for the tactical success of terrorism, it is understandable that it attracts a major degree of attention today. There is no real novelty about this. After all, for 40 years the United States and its North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) allies perpetually worried about surprise attack on the Central Front in Europe, as well as about a surprise first strike designed to disarm the United States of its ability to retaliate with its strategic nuclear forces.
